As a "loser," and always close to last place on the top ten list, I 
have chosen to sin.  I agree email love, not email war, would be the 
better and sweeter option, but just for ONE month, I want to see my 
name in the top five.  It's not so bad.  I can still write quality 
emails to Sam.  Not Grade A or anything, but still quality.

Being Catholic myself, I MUST sin in order to maintain a guilty 
feeling.  So the wars must go on.  (Not like I'm a challenge or 
anything, guys...I mean really.....)
